Allen & Heath iDR-4 16x16 Matrix Mixer

iDR-4 OVERVIEW iDR-4 and iDR-8 are 16 x 16 matrix mixers with an extensive array of audio management tools designed to reduce the need for additional devices for an installation, or carried in the hire inventory. Allen & Heath preamps, 24bit converters and fixed DSP architecture ensure that concert-quality low-latency sound is delivered efficiently to where it is needed.

The iDR can send a user defined serial command when a preset is recalled. An example would be to trigger a video switcher when the iDR routes audio (audio switching).

Pager A microphone connected to an i/p has its level reduced to 0 automatically until a switch is pressed.The switch opens the mic channel which is routed to the required zone(s).

Phantom power needs to be selected in the power up configuration in order to avoid pops and clicks being transmitted to the loudspeakers.

It is possible to use a PL device on a local iDR unit to control level and preset recall on a remote iDR unit.

Plug in remote control - connects direct to iDR via CAT5

iDR System Manager is a software interface allowing for control and management of iDR units. System Manager enables the operator to Adjust, Set, Store and Recall settings in the iDR Unit(s). A complete system can be designed and realised allowing useful functions such as password protection, offline editing, multiple unit interconnection and function pairing and recalls.
